Missionary Man

I was born an original sinner

I was born from original sin

If I had a dollar bill

For all the things I've done

There'd be a mountain of money

Piled up to my chin

My mama told me good

My mama told me strong

She said

Be true to yourself

And you can't go wrong

But there's just one thing

That you gotta understand

You can fool with your brother

[Chorus 1]

But don't mess with a missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man, ooh

Well the missionary man

He's got God on his side

He's got the saints and apostles

Backin' up from behind

Black eyed looks

From those bible books

He's a man with a mission

Got a serious mind

There was a woman in the jungle

And a monkey on a tree

The missionary man he was followin' me

He said

Stop what you're doing

Get down upon your knees

Got a message for you

That you better believe (believe, believe)

Hey! Come on.  Aw, come on

[Guitar solo]

Don't mess with a missionary man

(no, no, don't do it)

Don't mess with a missionary man

(Hey! hey, hey, yeah)

I was born an original sinner

(hmm-ooh-ooh)

I was born from original sin

(yeah)

If I had a dollar bill

For all the things I've done

(ooh-ooh-ooh)

There'd be a mountain of money

(yeah)

Missionary man

(ooh, ooh, ooh-oh)

Missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

Missionary man

(oh, ooh-oh-ooh)

Missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

(Aw, no, no, no, no)

Don't mess with a missionary man

Missionary man

(Aw, no man)

Missionary man

Don't mess with a missionary man

(no, no)

Missionary man
